Get ready for a roaring good time at the Science Museum of Virginia.

Science on Tap: Dino Night is happening on Thursday, July 24, and it’s going to be a blast from the past for the 21+ crowd.

Set against the Science Museum’s newest exhibition, “Ultimate Dinosaurs,” this after-hours event is your chance to:

  • Snap a photo with a Jurassic Park Jeep
  • Sip on local craft brews
  • Dig into food truck favorites like Gelati Celesti, Parallel Stix, and River City Wood Fire Pizza
  • Come face-to-face with live animals from the Wildlife Center of Virginia
  • Take a cosmic trip through the age of dinosaurs in The Dome

Pro tip: Costumes are encouraged. Channel your favorite dino or paleontologist (think: Alan Grant or Claire Dearing) and prepare to dig up some fun.

Psst... Tickets come with 6 p.m., 6:30 p.m., or 7 p.m. start times, so plan ahead and grab yours before they go extinct.
